I’d actually generally avoid writing about things like this, if it were new, to keep the word from spreading before the companies got a chance to fix it — but these techniques are already well known in the hacking world.

In fact, a post on Adobe’s security blog suggests that they fixed the bug (or a similar one) way back in 2011. We tested the proof of concept on the latest build of Chrome for Mac, and it pulled from our webcam without issue or any visible prompt.

If your browser doesn’t visibly render the permission box and clicking the play button snaps a picture of you, your browser fails the test.

If it shows the permission box or blocks the click, you’re safe (from this specific exploit, at least). Imagine you’re perusing some of the Internet’s more, erm, websites.

You know those people who put tape over their laptop’s webcam to keep digital peeping toms at bay? A new proof of concept is making the rounds today that demonstrates how a hacker can snap pics off your webcam, right through the browser, with no consent required. Without going into to much detail, the demo uses a bunch of fancy CSS/HTML trickery to render Flash’s permission prompt in a transparent layer, placing the now invisible “Allow” button directly above something the user is likely to click — like, say, the “Play” button on a video.

“No user action or Flash Player product update are required,” it reads. Others have found the exploit to work on IE10, but it seems to be patched on the most recent releases of Safari and Firefox.

Perhaps Batman would pick up this videolink to talk with citizens of Gotham: https://videolink2.me/batman Thats how all people see page of Batman: So in case of emergency anybody can just talk with Batman via videolink instead of using old school spotlight.

There’s a relatively easy fix to a lot of the vulnerabilities in these webcams: Put a password on them.

This isn’t a particularly new issue, but will continue to worsen as the uptake of connected devices grows.

You can find a number of chat rooms and can also create your own if you wish to speak to your own preferred people on certain topics of discussion.

Tiny Chat allows around 12 video feeds per chat room and users can stream live video shows hosted on the service absolutely for free.

It allows users to see which of their devices are connected to the Internet, see where it’s located, and who is using it.
